Gawain and the Green Knight

Gawain and the Green Knight

One Christmas, a knight garbed all in green appears in King Arthur's Court and challenges any knight to hew off his head on the proviso that he be allowed to return the axe stroke afterwards. All of King Arthur's other knights being frightened, Sir Gawain takes up the challenge and hacks off the green knight's head. The green knight then gives Gawain a year to find his home and live a little before the cut is returned.

Stone Cold Justice

Stone Cold Justice

The Israeli army is both respected and feared as a fighting force. But it's facing a backlash, at home and abroad, for its bullying tactics in the West Bank. With incredible access on both sides, this doc reveals how children have become a key part of its strategy and are being both tortured and used as spies. From arresting Palestinian kids as young as five to allowing Settler attacks, from torture to threats of rape and forced confessions, it's a brutal reign of terror that is radicalising a new generation of Palestinians.
